Story of a Short Film Maker

I am Sunilraj MR. I live in Ahmedabad. Perhaps, I don't want to talk about my official career.

But I have a parallel career. Do I want to call it as career? No, that is my passion.

I make short films. I am passionate about it.

It all started when I shifted with my family to a beautiful housing campus in the city of Ahmedabad.

My daughter showed me a sunbird making its nest, hatching eggs and bringing up its chicks.

I was hooked. I passionately followed the life of this bird with my Sony Full HD camera.

My first film, 'My Purples Sunbird' was born then.

For this movie I was conferred with the award of 5th CMS Vatavaran Environment and Wildlife Film Festival Award for the debutant amateur director in 2009.

I had contributed small little visual stories to some of the television channels.

But somethign was calling me. Now I have realized that my calling is to be a short film maker.

With short moves, I make my short movies.

I will keep posting them here, my experiences, my tribulations and my joys.

I love nature. And my films are all about my love for it.

I want to share it with you. And I want you to share with me your short films, your ideas, your comments and your valuable suggestions.

Thank you till I see you next......
